In the world of legal responsibility, is it better to use "open" 
software or proprietary software?

Would you have an AI robot in your house, one which had the capacity, 
even if only in highly unlikely circumstances, to do serious damage? If 
it did, who could you sue?

IMHO, the barrier to any supposedly "intelligent" technology is not the 
technology but the law. On a desktop, it is relatively benign. In the 
physical world it is frightening.
